><>...But why single out the Jews...><> My dear Robert, you and Emile do it in all your posts. Robert, isn't it true that...... all who do not receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour, all who deny that He is God in the flesh, all who curse and blaspheme His Name, all who lie about His holy ministry and holy word, all who belittle His miracles and His works, all who deny His virgin birth,all who deny His crucifixion, all who deny His resurrection, these too are also anti christs? Robert, The Jews as a people have millions within them that have received the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour. Just as there are millions of non-Jews born within Christian families, that do deny that God has come in the Flesh in the person of Jesus. These same people also do deny the virgin birth, the resurrection, the miracles and other works of God. They also do deny the validity and sanctity of the holy scriptures,and all of this while they preach from a pulpit within a Church whose title gives the impression that they are Christian. Are they not anti-christs instead? Yes Robert when a nation's govt. (those in power) denies that Jesus is God, and only through Him is their salvation, then that nation can be known as an anti-christ nation. But to even suggest that the people who live in that nation, just by virtue of their residence, are anti-christ is unwarrented to say the least. The United States of America is not known as an anti-christ nation,because it has never had an anti-christ as it's leader. But there are millions who live in and are citizens of this nation who are anti-christ. Russia has always been an anti christ nation, because their Govt. leadership is non-Christian, but millions of people who live in and are citizens of Russia are not anti-christs. There are hundreds of nations whose leaders do not accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. They as a govt deny that Jesus is the Christ. But their are millions within all countries that do not deny that Jesus is the Christ! There was even a time in many Christian's lives when they them selves denied that Jesus is the Christ. But were later able to see the truth. Can we then say that even these were once anti-christs? Please Robert I ask you and Emile in all sincerity to get off our brother's case. The Jewish believers here and everywhere do not deserve the constant and relentless verbal battering that they have received. They love and worship the Lord Jesus and call Him their Saviour and their Christ. He is no less their Saviour, then He is yours, Emile's, or mine. You nor anyone else can claim a special relationship with Him. He is the Christ to all who have received Him as such. The blessed and loving Jewish believers on this thread should not have to be defending their right as Jewish believers to Love and worship Christ as they see fit. They should not feel in the least bit intimidated or uncomfortable being around Christians. The real anti christs on this thread, the ones constantly mocking and blaspheming the name of God and His Christ, are the ones that should feel intimidated, uncomfortable and ashamed to be here. The light of the gospel of Jesus the Christ has been given to them over and over. Their hideous and contrived arguments against the word of God has been shown by many here, to be completely without merit. Yet they still mock and scorn God, and say abominable things such as our precious Lord was a revolutionary just looking for trouble, they say he was most likely a homosexual, a man with an identity and or gender problem. They deny the virgin birth, the crucifixion, the resurrection, and all of his miracles and blessed works. They even deny His most precious and most holy word. These are the anti-christs! Not our Jewish believing brothers and sisters. And if they prefer to call themselves Messianic Jews, then so be it. It is what they are. Jews who believe that Christ is the Messiah...Praise God, praise God! To the anti-christs here and else where we should be saying; Luke 13:3 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. And Mark 1:15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Robert I have said all of this in love and with all the grace that God has put within my heart. It just needed to be said by someone other than a Jewish believer. Thank you for hearing me Love in our Precious Lord Jesus the Christ Shalom...><>
